Spoken

Composed in 1725, the piece is an extended cantata that displays Bach’s consummate skill as a storyteller.

After a boisterous opening, it pitches listeners into the drama of the disciples – represented by the quartet of soloists – with heartfelt arias for the two Marys and Peter reflecting on their fears and hopes.

The two other works on this evening’s programme, ‘Erfreut euch, ihr Herzen’ (Rejoice, You Hearts) and ‘Bleib bei uns, denn es will Abend werden’ (Stay with us, for Evening Falls) were both composed for performance on the Monday after Easter.

Peter Whelan is one of the outstanding new generation exponents of historical performance and has been described as a director of ‘rich insight, style and charisma’ (The Guardian).

In demand across Europe and North America, he is the artistic director of the Irish Baroque Orchestra and won an Olivier Award in 2022 for ‘outstanding achievement in opera’ for the Royal Opera/Irish National Opera production Bajazet.

The soloists for this concert feature the members of the latest cohort of the OAE’s Rising Stars of the Enlightenment scheme for singers.
